-Serving as a Graduate Teaching Fellow for AAD by assisting with the undergraduate AAD course Art and Gender, taught by Julie Voelker-Morris (I couldn’t have asked for a better assignment–helping convey the intersection between the arts and women’s and gender studies to new students)

-And of course, completing my AAD coursework and terminal research! What path will my research take me on this year? I suspect I will start to get a clearer picture through the core course, Research Proposal.

Here’s to a really good year. I wish both my cohort and the incoming AADers plenty of fun, a healthy dose of determination, and creative and intellectual epiphanies galore in the next nine months. Let’s get it started!
